New name and new product with the same focus on world-class gear drive solutions

ASI Drives, a leading manufacturer of custom engineered gear drives since 1985, has announced a major rebranding, the enhancement of towing functionality with its breakout FRED2500 AGV, and an upcoming opportunity to meet FRED in person.

After nearly 35 years, ASI Technologies recently rebranded itself as ASI Drives. The change captures the company's focus on delivering world-class gear drive solutions to its target markets and providing superior product value for customers.

ASI does not simply design and manufacture battery-powered gear drives for machines up to one ton; ASI Drives solutions, value, and gear technology.

"ASI has developed an industry-leading ability to solve problems and offer value to our customers," said Doug Fastuca, CEO. "We continue to innovate our gear and motor technologies with AGMA Standards, and with the introduction of our FRED AGV, we're driving new areas of performance and automation."

The change further establishes ASI within the AGV and warehouse automation markets, as does the introduction of FRED, ASI's innovative, self-driving, material-handling vehicle.

FRED is not your typical AGV. It's simple to set up, productive, flexible, safe, and affordable. And with the addition of new towing capabilities, there are a multiple methods and opportunities to move material around your facility. Using empty dollies, a detachable handle, and a quick-release tongue, FRED can easily move between multiple pickup locations with ease.

If you plan to be in Chicago for ProMat 2019, we hope you'll stop by to meet FRED2500. You can find it and the rest of the team from ASI Drives in booth #S1061 at McCormick Place.
